Jonathan Prince explores his fascination of form and material through the creation of his elegant abstract sculptures. His work investigates the duality of form and chaos, one complementing the other; Nature, science, the human form, and ancient artifacts inspire Prince’s work and his process requires both careful skill and heavy machinery where imperfect jagged breaks often interrupt the highly polished, smooth surfaces.
The artist returned to sculpture full time in 2004, after a distinguished and diverse professional career in the arts and sciences. Prince graduated with a doctorate degree from Columbia University, and received a post-doctorate from the University of Southern California. He has created several large-scale technology and art installations at renowned venues such as the Smithsonian Institution, and holds several design patents for his developments in optical engineering. His work is featured in notable public and private collections worldwide, including The Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University and The Joseph M. Cohen Family Collection.
We have always admired Prince’s work and was intrigued to hear more about his story and studio in the Berkshire Mountains, which is 2 and a half hours from New York City.
